Confidence, and just sort of an attitude as much as anything else, that they're going to keep fighting, coach Mike Yeo said.

After ignoring the advice for most of the first two periods Tortorella called the game "boring" until overtime the Wild heeded Yeo's urging to send more pucks at the net down the stretch.

Teams scramble when you shoot the puck. When you keep it on the perimeter, it's pretty easy to defend, Parise said, adding: "You don't want to make a habit of it, but we're confident we can come back."

This was the only home game for the Wild in the middle of a grueling eight game stretch against some of the NHL's top teams.

Down by a goal, you kind of got a sense of urgency, I think, Coyle said. "And time is winding down, so you pick it up a little bit. I think we've got to play like that for the most part the whole game."
